OpenDOS will, in a future release, include a TCP/IP stack and web browser.
I have not seen it personally, but I understand this was demo'ed at Cebit
(a large trade show in Germany) this week.  My understanding is that the
stack is the Novell LAN Workplace stack, which works with the existing
LSL and ODI network drivers.  I have heard that there is a PPP driver
with a dialer for modem use.  The browser is an enhanced Arachne.

I don't know when it will be available to the public.
